Scooter Town 2009

finn goes through the car wash.

Finn had Scooter Town at school today for PE. Every year, his PE teacher does this. I'd never been invited, though. Ashe did it, now Finn's doing it for the second year. She's great. It's really

cool how she sets it up for the kids. She even has a working stoplight that points two directions. She has a train crossing, where they have to wait, if the train is crossing. Here are photos of some of the fun!!

Finn's First Futbol Game 2009

Finn had his first real soccer game last Saturday (the 12th). He had the best time! He played soccer last year. No games in kindergarten soccer (last school year), so this was his first soccer game ever. Finn is not really into sports, and sometimes fights going, but after his second practice, stated he loves it. After this game, he was sold!! He says it's his favorite sport. I believe it.

He scored a goal too!! Yay for Finn.

I Don't Wanna Be Learned

Tuesday, September 8, 2009...the boys started school yesterday.

Finn is a 1st Grader. Ashe is a 5th Grader. Growing up WAY (!) too fast. I could gush about the wonderful teachers they got. It's so funny how you get caught up in that. I have never been one of those parents to freak out about that, simply because the kids' school has great teachers in general. This year, though, I wanted Finn to get a certain teacher, because of her art focus. Finn loves art. I don't know where it came from, but he does. I want to foster that love. He got the teacher I wanted him to get.

Ashe's teacher is well thought of, but I know less about her. I think Ashe is honestly smitten with her. He wanted me to come up and "see" her...he didn't want me to meet her, he wanted me to see her. It's sweet. I hope it helps his interest in school, ;) rather than interferes with it.

Here's to a great 2009-2010 school year.
